Two Ex-Googlers Have A New App For Sharing Secrets, And Here's What People Are Saying About Silicon Valley On It

Secret is the latest social app to go viral, and it's filled with
a boatload of Silicon Valley insights and rumors.

The app, which just launched last week, was founded by
ex-Googlers David Mark Byttow and Chrys Bader.

The idea behind Secret is to let you share anonymously with your
friends. It's kind of like secret-sharing app Whisper,
but the difference is that all of the secrets are from your
friends, or a friend of a friend.

With Whisper, you see secrets from anyone and everyone. And it's
truly anonymous.

"We like Whisper, but believe it's a fundamentally
different product," Byttow tells Business Insider via email.
"Whisper starts with strangers, Secret begins with friends.
Secret is fundamentally about communication. It enables you to
communicate with people you know, or like-minded people, in an
honest and authentic way. This is very powerful and can increase
empathy and self-awareness in the world. They
can both co-exist."
